Wine Quote

"I rejoice, as a moralist, at the prospect of a reduction of the duties on wine by our national legislature...No nation is drunken where wine is cheap; and none sober, where the dearness of wine substitutes ardent spirits as the common beverage. It is, in truth, the only antidote to the bane of whiskey."

- Thomas Jefferson to Jean Guillaume Hyde de Neuville (1818). The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, Memorial Edition. Vol 15, p178.
